Do wedding party plus ones ride in the limo?

I realized today that I booked a limo not counting any wedding party plus ones.

Is it customary that they (e.g., boyfriend of bridesmaid, wife of best man, etc.) ride in the limo with the wedding party?

No it's usually just the bridal party at least that's how it has always been for weddings I was in.

Its up to you. You definitely dont have to let them ride in the limo. I am having a party bus which holds more people, so I am allowing my best friends spouse and the parents of my flower girls as well as my future sister in law. My FH's brother is getting married in September so I didnt wanna tell her shes not allowed lol. They all might not choose to bc they need a car to get home from the reception, but I am allowing them the option.

But like I said I have a 28 person party bus, so I see nothing wrong with you just having the bridal party. Thats usually the tradiational way anyway.

We are only having bridal party in limo we figured their dates would probably drive so that they have a car at end of the reception.

Phew, thanks everyone. I thought I'd made a faux pas and would have to try to book a bigger limo. Thanks!

NO!!

and i would make this clear for everyone up front. the way i did it was asking how they were getting to the church and then to the recption hall. my fsil's bf didn't come in the limo and neither did anyone else's plus one.. if we had a brother or sister not in the bridal party then we may have added them in the mix.

They don't need to be in the limo so you are fine.

Re: Do wedding party plus ones ride in the limo?

I don't think you have to include them, especially if it means having to get a larger car. In the weddings I've been to, the plus ones generally have to find their own transportation and since the BP will need to be earlier and running around for pictures and things, there's really nothing for the plus ones to be doing. But it is definitely up to you.
